Powerdot, a leading operator of fast and ultra-fast charging points in retail locations, has been selected for the second consecutive year to participate in the Choose France forum. Organized by the French government, the event highlights international companies with significant investments in France.
At the forum, Powerdot announced a €100 million investment to deploy more than 4,000 new fast charging points across France by 2027. These will primarily be installed in supermarkets, shopping centers, and retail parks, in collaboration with major retail groups such as Carrefour, Coopérative U, and Les Mousquetaires. This expansion complements the company’s existing network of over 6,000 operational points across more than 1,000 active stations, making Powerdot the leading fast and ultra-fast charging operator in France, with an average growth rate of one new charging station per day.
Luis Santiago Pinto, CEO of Powerdot, stated: “Being part of Choose France for a second year acknowledges the work we have carried out across various European markets. Our model focuses on simple, integrated solutions for everyday use. This invitation reinforces our commitment to more accessible, efficient, and connected electric mobility.”
Powerdot operates in six countries, including France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Poland, and Luxembourg. It continues to expand its network focused on destination fast charging.
In Spain and Portugal, Powerdot is the largest independent fast and ultra-fast charging operator, with over 1,600 contracted points in Spain alone. In Poland, one of Eastern Europe’s fastest-growing EV markets, Powerdot ranks as the second largest operator by number of charging points.
Matthieu Dischamps, Managing Director of Powerdot France, highlighted: “Effective charging infrastructure must be built from real user experience, not theory. Choose France recognizes not only our growth but also how we are achieving it: with a European vision and practical local implementation.”
Over the past year, Powerdot secured €415 million in financing from historic investors and a green loan provided by a consortium of six European banks: ABN AMRO, BNP Paribas, ING, MUFG, Santander, and Société Générale. The company has also received institutional recognition, being included in the LETS index for Europe’s most promising tech scale-ups and featured by Time magazine as the top European EV charging company in its “World’s Top GreenTech Companies 2025” list. These recognitions confirm Powerdot’s role in leading Europe’s energy transition.
